Does taking Spell Focus in any Spell School have any effect on Druids?
I'd not noticed previously, but I've taken Greater Spell Focus in Conjuration ( +4 DC to spells)....
... and yet I've noticed for his main Conjuration Spells ( Stonehold. SoV ) the DC for it hasn't increased. So basically a wasted feat.
Could this be a bug?
Or do Spell Focus Feats for Druids not apply?
-
Spell Focus definitely has effect on all spells cast regardless of class.
Conjuration focus is also one of the best ideas for a druid to take, so definitely not a waste.
The DC is easy to verify, you know your base, spell level, wisdom modifiers and focii, so add them up and compare with the DC used in game.
So: DC = 10 + spell level + ability modifier + feat modifier (+4 for Greater Focus)
-
Ahh... so Greater Spell Focus is +2 more... not really +4 like it says?
So it doesnt stack with Spell Focus... giving +2 and then adding +4 with Greater?
If so, then its working perfect mate. Was just expecting another +2 to it.
:)

If you calculate it by my formula, it's 10 + 6 (spell level) + 11 + 4 (focii do not stack) = 31
-
Yup. Working fine then.
Thanks mate!

Bingo!
The character gains a +4 bonus to the spell save DC for all spells of the chosen school.
Focii are not cumulative though, yeah.
